Description
For those who don't recognize it, it is theGobots command center . Even as a child, I couldn't keep myself to think about the empire quadripod from Star Wars when it was appearing on TV. It was just lamer. So I drew this.One of the toys I really don't like in the gobot line (it even displayed a cafetaria for gobot....so ridiculous!!!). I don't know if it belonged to the Robomachine line too.

no it was a tonka orginal
probably explaining why it sucked so much

Indeed.
I tried to reimagine it in the "Animated" style. A lost cause. This thing can only suck

maybe if it had some actual feet and weapons it might suck less

Ya' know, the Gobots are cyborgs, right? Considering they are organics in robotic bodies, they would probably need to eat like any living creature.

Yeah maybe... But in the "Cafetaria" way ? Out of style for me.

I think the Guardian Command Center is silly looking. I love this.

That's part of his charm now. But back then, having it as an expensive gift was my fear

It's probably even more expensive now.

Probably had room for an energon dispenser or some other robot/machine fuel source.
Then again, I imagine that Gobotron's society was still functional(Renegades nothwithstanding).
/a fan of the old 80s show, crappy animation notwithstanding.

A cafeteria for robots? LOL! It reminds me this scene: [link]

This is great! Never thought of this as a child playing with the toys (I had the good guy base, my brother had the bad guys base), but seeing it now it makes perfect sense!

Heh. That's clever... (If I recall, that really was a fun toy, though)

Ah, the Gobot command center. Famous for having on the inside, a cafeteria for robots.
The sad thing is, they are suffering from the AT-At's greatest weakness... which was described in a recent Toyfare magazine (when comparing the two) as being 'easily taken down by giant cables which Rebels conveniently had". The Command center's weakness? "Wasting valuable space which could've been used for weapons and missiles on a stupid cafeteria. Sorry, we can't get over that cafeteria"

Haha !!! So true !
I wonder what the sticker's designer was thinking. I sound too human to be serious and it ruins all. So Lame... Why not a restromm then ^^! with paper to read...
Proof that "Gobots" franchise was just a brainless and stupid method to try to sell Machinerobo to occident.
Japan rules !!!!

Who the hell didn't they rip off? I wouldn't be surprised if they had a human-bot name Darrrrth Veyder.

ha maybe you could do one where ed-209(from robocop is mistaken as an at-at

This is especially funny cause I had one of those.
You would push th button on it's face and the alarm would go off.
Ah, memories.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
happy to bring some nostalgia to you. As I only approch it recetly and not back in those days, I never seen any with a functionnal alarm.

Guess the Rebals thought it was a new model of the AT-AT

Awesome pic, I never cared for the TF and Gobot rivalry, as long as it had transforming robots.

GCC superior AT-AT inferior
i'll search the net for machine robo rescue's base for you to see
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah, that was the lamest base ever. Why did it have a face on the bottom of it, anyway?
I'm pretty sure Machine Robo never had that thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
After a little research, it seems that Machine robo got that . Much more impressive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, way better. I guess they didn't use it, because they wanted every toy to be a robot of some kind.

LoL now that is genius right there, crossing the Gobots Command Center with the Starwars Hoth XD.

didn't you think the same thing? Honestly...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, I was a little kid at the time, so probably didn't make the connection. But looking at it now, definitely
